Indiana football reaches bowl eligibility with 41-24 win over Northwestern

6-0. In October.

The Indiana football Hoosiers are officially bowl eligible, ranked, and head into a bye before a showdown at home with Nebraska.

It wasn’t necessarily an easy one. Northwestern hasn’t looked strong throughout the year, particularly on offense, but absolutely made Indiana earn it with countless plays in the second half that brought That Old Feeling back.

You know the one.

The Hoosiers head into the fourth with a lead before a parade of mistakes, penalties and plays from the opposing side let what looked like a perfectly winnable game slip away. It’s happened before, plenty of times under the previous coaching staff.
